Master branch is updated with new code and some documentation (format of that needs fixing though): there are some command line params now -O for opening and -R for opening and running a project file and Tools menu integration has been reworked to contain two entries now. If you place your DCCP project file inthe same directory as the dpr/dproj, you can run it from tools menu now... Enjoy!

I just commited an updated version: I fixed a bug where empty paths/file names were added to the .lst files under some circumstances. This really upset CodeCoverage.exe (it created an av in ntdll.dll!) The log-file output path is now the same as the report output path. The links in the new about dialog are opened in the browser now. If you pass a file name as command line parameter the tool will act as if you had clicked "Open" in the tool and loaded the file. I added some screenshots to the readme on GitHub. That's not a new release yet but some good improvements in my eyes. More should be comming over the next few days.

Define "near" 😉

I found out by talking to the one posting the bug report on the DE Delphipraxis forum, that this does not seem to be in the wizard but rather in the coverage tool itsself. We'll investigate. I cheched my project source and it has no JCL/JVCL units in its uses at all.

Ups, sorry! I had missed that one!

Gah! I'm sorry to report that a bug crept in. There's still some dependency on JCL or so in there at some place. I'll try to fix this tonight. So if you don't have JCL/JVCL installed it will not run at the moment.

Just to let you know that I just submitted the form to get it published in GetIt. Now that's EMBT's turn 😉

Not bad the idea, it just might require adding more syntax to { ToDo: "my list item" } comments. I'm also sure you know where you can file such requests officially. If you do that and post the number here others might vote for that.

Sorry for not answering earlier. I'm not often on English DelphiPraxis forum and it seems I don't get E-Mail notifications. Need to check settings for those. Aboue EAS: I guess you mean AES? The key is the key used for encryption descyption. means: both parties need to use the same key. If you just use the AES class the variant of AES algorithm picked/created depends on the length of the key you give. At least in the version in development branch (not sure if that's already in 6.4.1) there are AES128, AES192 and AES256 classes now which do not really check key length to find out which one to create. Init vector: if you use any block mode except ECB (and ECB is not recommended as this is the least secure one) the preceeding block is somehow combined with the data of the currently processed block. That means: if you encrypt the very same data twice, it usually will be encrypted differently because blocks depend on each other. This enhances security. When using ECB mode this is not the case and thus is should not be used. This init vector is just the data which is treated as "output of the former block processed" when calculating the very first block. So it must have a length of block size of the algorithm and you need to supply the same data for encryption and decryption. The recommendation is to use a different value each time you encrypt something. I hope this helps, if not let me know.

Hello, has anybody any hints for me why TShareContract or ShareContractFramework work in the example provided by Delphi 11.1 but not when I copy over that code to my application? So where's my difference? I call it from the OnClick handler of a TMenuItem and not a TButton but that shouldn't be the root cause. I call InitiateSharing but then the mouse cursor changes for just a brief moment and nothing pops up. When I run the demo and click the button it works and I get that popup... Cheers TurboMagic

Meanwhile I learned that there's no support in the Java bridge yet to get access to these data types, which means one must implement some things on "the Java side".

Hello, I want to use TCameraComponent on Android to capture images with a frame rate as high as possible and search for something/detect something in the individual images. Questions: 1. Is the exposure time of relevance there? If yes, how can I set that? I didn't see anything regarding that. 2. Which Android camera API does TCameraComponent use? 3. If I use .MAP on the obtained bitmap I get a TBitmapData object, where I can call GetScanLine on. Which TPixelFormat do those bitmaps use? Is this the same format on all Android devices or how to set that? Regards TurboMagic

Can you show on how to add this/implement this? Problem is: without continous capture the thing is not usable for my purpose...

Regarding your support for Camera 2: Can you got a bit more into details about what work it would need? Does Camera API 2 have a setting for the exposure time? Have you surfaced that one or would it be easy to add it? And why, oh why, does Android need so many different takes on a camera API? Regards TurboMagic

Found a fix myself! FQuery.UpdateOptions.AutoIncFields := 'PERSON_ID'; This makes FireDAC aware that the not null constraint will be fullfilled by the database itsself.

I just tried this, but it does not work. It throws an EDatabaseError exception that the PERSON_ID must not be null. That field is the primary key and as soon as I delcare it as primary key the DB management tool adds a not null constraint. The exception occurs on the Post line. My code looks like this: FQuery.SQL.Text := 'select Person_ID, LastName, FirstName from persons'; FQuery.Open; FQuery.Append; FQuery.FieldByName('LastName').AsString := 'Doe'; FQuery.FieldByName('FirstName').AsString := 'John'; FQuery.Post; Result := FQuery.FieldByName('Person_ID').AsInteger; The generator value us applied via some ACTIVE BEFORE INSERT trigger by the way...

Thanks! Sounds helpfull and I'll try this later!

The developer of FireDAC somewhere recommended this one: FireDAC.Comp.Client.TFDCustomConnection.GetLastAutoGenValue But that also retrieves the last value of the generator and thus should better be avoided for most RDMS, at least in multi user scenarios. Somewhere else adding this to the insert statement is recommended: RETURNING ID INTO :ID This would return the value in a field named ID. But: FireDAC doesn't seem to support this. If I add this to the insert the Prepare call throws an error: Dynamic SQL error. Error code -104, Token unknown, Line 1 column 138. Where column 138 (at least when I copy out the SQL text in the debugger) is one of the parameters before...

In my case I have used this one: FQuery.SQL.Text := 'insert into MYTABLE ' + '(LASTNAME, FIRSTNAME) ' + 'VALUES (:NEW_LASTNAME, :NEW_FIRSTNAME);'; FQuery.UpdateOptions.AutoIncFields := 'PERSON_ID'; FQuery.CachedUpdates := false; FQuery.Prepare; Later on I fill in values like this, which works and created unique IDs: FQuery.ParamByName('NEW_LASTNAME').AsString := 'Doe'; FQuery.ParamByName('NEW_FIRSTNAME').AsString := 'John'; FQuery.ExecSQL; But how to retrieve the generated new PERSON_ID?

This is exactly the help topic I don't fully understand! I'm having the same issue right now, but with a Firebird database. The help topic doesn't show me (at least not in a form I can understand) hot to access the generated value after calling ExecSQL. And the sample linked I don't understand either.

Some Firebird documentation about generators I just read recommends to NOT directly query a generator like that for master/detail tables, as in multi user scenarious you cannot be sure whether somebody already further incremented the generrator etc.

Ok, I invested the time to try to replicate this in a reduced demo, but there the problem doesn't happen!

Your idea is of course how one might find it, if it shows in a reduced demo. My first question would be: what's different between those two forms that one shows this problem and the other works as expected. So which properties or behavior can influence that? Both forms have set: - BorderIcons := [biSystemMenu,biMinimize,biMaximize] - BorderStyle := bsSingle - DefaultMonitor := dmActiveForm - FormStyle := fsNormal - PopupMode := pmNone also pmAuto doesn't change this - PopupParent := nil, but also setting it to TCustomForm(AOwner) in the constructor didn't change anything - Position := poOwnerFormCenter - WindowState := wsNormal The form itsself only has an OnShowEvent, where one control gets set the focus. Any other properties known which might play a role here?

I might try later on, but it might prove difficult. I already tried to do a minimal demo for something else I saw in that project and reported as QP 38385, but the minimal demo failed to show the effect. In the German DP somebody said something that all new forms seem to have some popupparent issue as if always the main form would be used as popup parent... I haven't done any investigation of that theory yet, as I just read it. Could that be related?

Strange! I found this post because I have exactly the same issue, but the solution above doesn't fix my issue 😞 Given: - D11.1 - a datamodule containing a TTaskDialog - a main form - two other forms, each having a button for showing that TTaskDialog - both forms have the same popup mode, border style etc. - both are created at runtime and shown via ShowModal and when created both get the main form set as owner - in one form the TaskDialog shows in the foreground, in the other it stays in the background - calling execute with self.handle as param doesn't help Now I copied the Taskdialog from the datamodule directly on the form where it doesn't work and called that directly. Result: still doesn't work 😞 Anybody any clue?
